Try cleaning the rotors with some rubbing alcohol first, they will get road grime on them.

Thats good post. I have just over 2300 on mine and the rear squeals a little too. The miles are lo because of a deployment right after I bought it. Missed 2 riding seasons. But I am back now. The squeal is just aggrevating to me more than anything. Since I am a mechanic by trade little stuff like that drives me crazy(among other things driving me crazy). Would like a good fix for it tho.

I get a little squeal too. I'll be replacing the rotors with floating ones, and the pads with Lyndall Z+.

Have the same problem. I replaced my rear rotor and put on new Lyndall Z-pads but it still squeaks. I emailed Lyndall and here's the reply "See our "service/tech" page on our web site at www.lyndallracingbrakes.com, you will need to remove the rear wheel to perform this service, but it isdefinitely worth the effort." It basicly says pull the callipers and clean the pistons. I don't want to remove the rear wheel but that squeak is driving me crazy so I'll give it a try.
